The Gamo P-430 lets you shoot either BBs or pellets for an affordable price, and you don't need an additional magazine or adapter cartridges to do it. It gives you speeds up to 495 fps using alloy pellets for fun and exciting performance when plinking or target shooting.
You'll appreciate that this air pistol doesn't need tools to swap the 12 gram CO2 cartridge. That's because it has a thumbscrew underneath the back of the grip that you loosen to take out a cartridge and tighten to pierce and secure the new cartridge, meaning you won't need to search for a hex wrench to keep shooting.
You can shoot the Gamo P-430 by either pulling back the slide to cock it and use the trigger in single action mode, or use the trigger to both cock and shoot it in double action mode. That makes it so you shoot the air pistol as fast as you can pull the trigger, in the same way you would with a semi-auto airgun.
The double sided magazine has two rotary clips on each end that hold 8 rounds, giving you a total of 16 rounds per magazine. You'll also get a firm hold on the airgun because of the grip with ridges on the front and back, plus texturing on the right and left side. The fixed rear notch sight and fixed front post sight give you added aiming precision.
If you want a unique air pistol that can shoot either pellets or BBs for accurate and entertaining plinking and target shooting, get a Gamo P-430 from Airgun Depot now.

This is the best low priced pistol I have found. I do not care about replicas or blowback. I keep this in the garage charged and loaded to deter backyard pests. It is relatively quiet and accurate for a smooth bore. Internals seam to be quality, and the main seal seams excellent. I was impressed to find it is made in Japan. The mags are plastic, just be careful and patient loading them and they should last a long time. I have not had a misfire yet. I just wish they would recess the mag release button. This thing has been dependable and I have left pierced co2 in it for a month with no noticeable drop in pressure.
Pros
Price, power, quality
Cons
Recess the mag release
Pros
This air pistol has plenty of velocity. Shoots a wide variety of pellets well and very accurate. Bought a second one for my wife. She loves hers too. I would recommend this one to everyone.
Cons
I'd recess the mag release. It protrudes a bit and has a tendency to release the mag when holstered. No other issues found.
Worth the money.
Pros
I still got this bb/pellet. For 3 years use it so much no leaks.same stock magazine target no Lazer had one lost part to it
Cons
I want a drum magazine
CO2 thumb screw is a little tough to grip. Small pliers with common sense may help.
Pros
Ingenious magazine design that allows to load both ends for a quick mag flip to keep shooting. Tight groups at 25 feet. Great that it shoots both BBS and pellets. I have only shot pellets so far with no issues. Easy to load and use. Attractive design
Cons
You get what you pay for. All plastic housing. Stiff trigger and safety. I did not compare this to a replica pistol of 2 to 4 times the price. Decent power and works well without issue so far.
at 10 meters it is really precise the raccoons who threw my trash cans on the ground really don't like it
Pros
I really like this gun it is light and comfortable to handle
Get it and never look back
Pros
This is the first medium-priced gun I have purchased. Sorry I waited to do so. This gun is a nail driver at 20 feet pellets. I am thinking of getting a second one just for BBs
Cons
I have had this for two weeks and have found nothing to complain about. But accuracy with BBs is ok but typically with a pellet barrel
nice gun
Pros
id smash
Cons
great
